Small Groups

Small groups are not only one of the best ways to learn more about a topic of interest, but also to get to know and build with other church members. No matter the subject, small groups ensure that everyone has a chance share a point of view, to share from their own experiences and to ask questions in an open atmosphere free from judgement. It is by learning to be loving and compassionate with other Christians that allows us to carry God’s grace and forgiveness to the hurting and oppressed all around us.

The topics studied in our small groups change periodically, according to the needs of our members. Listed here are a few important studies that are usually repeated through the year.

Disciple Bible Study Class
The DISCIPLE Bible Series is a 4-course program of disciplined Bible study aimed at developing strong Christians. The courses combine a video introduction with group discussion. During the week, participants read and respond to assigned passages from the Bible. The four courses rotate throughout the year.

A Disciple’s Path
Whether you are a visitor, new member or long-time member, A Disciple’s Path will help guide you to take the next step in discipleship and become dynamic, engaged followers of Jesus Christ.

Women’s Bible Study
Women’s studies are offered on Wednesday mornings throughout the year (with the exception of July). A wide variety of book and Bible studies are utilized to help us to explore and grow our understanding of the Bible and each other. Contact Pastor Lisa at LStamp@NewHorizonUMC.com for more information on the current class offerings.

Searchers Class
Meets 10:00 am each Sunday in the Rainbow Room, using a lectionary based material.  We follow the pattern of Focus, Prepare, Gather, Engage, Respond, Bless, and Reflect. A common Biblical Background page outlines the Bible stories for each week and provides commentary on the scripture readings.
Led by: Mark Liebi, Bob Habenicht.
